Table of Contents
ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This document consists of two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering. The second
part is the accompanying prospectus, which describes more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. You should read both this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, together with the documents incorporated by reference and the additional information described
below under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information."
If the description of this offering varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the
information in this prospectus supplement.
Any statement made in this prospectus supplement or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus supplement to the extent that a statement contained in this
prospectus supplement or in any other subsequently filed document that is also incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement or the accompanying prospectus modifies or supersedes that statement. Except as so modified or superseded, any statement so modified or
superseded will not be deemed to constitute a part of this prospectus supplement. See "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference" in this
prospectus supplement.
In this prospectus supplement, we use the terms "Aon Corporation" or the "Issuer" to refer to Aon Corporation (not including its subsidiaries),
and the terms "Aon," "we," "us" and "our" and similar terms to refer to Aon plc and its subsidiaries (including Aon Corporation), unless the context
otherwise requires. We use the terms "Aon plc" or the "Parent" or the "Guarantor" to refer to Aon plc, Aon Corporation's indirect parent and the guarantor

IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any
retail investor in the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client
as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 214/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU
(as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (1) of Article 4(1)
of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, the "Prospectus Directive"). Consequently, no key
information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared, and therefore offering and selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to
any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

We are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In
accordance with the Exchange Act, we file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. Our SEC file

The SEC also maintains a web site that contains reports, proxy statements and other information about issuers, including us, who file
electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is www.sec.gov.
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, which form a part of the registration statement, do not contain all the information
that is included in the registration statement. You will find additional information about us in the registration statement. Any statements made in this
prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the
accompanying prospectus contain certain statements related to future results, or states our intentions, beliefs and expectations or predictions for the future
which are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations or forecasts of future events. They use words such as "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "project," "intend," "plan," "probably," "potential," "looking forward" and other similar terms, and future or
conditional tense verbs like "could," "may," "might," "should," "will" and "would." You can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they
do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. For example, we may use forward-looking statements when addressing topics such as: market and
industry conditions, including competitive and pricing trends; changes in our business strategies and methods of generating revenue; the development and
performance of our services and products; changes in the composition or level of our revenues; our cost structure and the outcome of cost-saving or
restructuring initiatives; the outcome of contingencies; dividend policy; the expected impact of acquisitions and dispositions; pension obligations; cash flow
and liquidity; expected effective tax rate; future actions by regulators; and the impact of changes in accounting rules. These forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from either historical or anticipated results depending on a
variety of factors. Potential factors that could impact results include:

·
general economic and political conditions in the countries in which we do business around the world, including the U.K.'s expected

withdrawal from the European Union;

·
changes in the competitive environment or damage to our reputation;

·
fluctuations in exchange and interest rates that could influence revenues and expenses;

·
changes in global equity and fixed income markets that could affect the return on invested assets;

·
changes in the funding status of our various defined benefit pension plans and the impact of any increased pension funding resulting

from those changes;

·
the level of our debt limiting financial flexibility or increasing borrowing costs;

·
rating agency actions that could affect our ability to borrow funds;

·
volatility in our tax rate due to a variety of different factors including U.S. federal income tax reform;

·
changes in estimates or assumptions on our financial statements;

·
limits on our subsidiaries to make dividend and other payments to us;

·
the impact of lawsuits and other contingent liabilities and loss contingencies arising from errors and omissions ("E&O") and other

claims against us;

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below, the risks set forth in the accompanying prospectus and the other information set forth
in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein before making an investment
decision. These risks include those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 as
filed with the SEC, as such factors may be updated in our periodic filings with the SEC, and include risks that could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows and which could, in turn, impact our ability to perform our respective obligations under the
Securities.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations.
The events discussed in the risk factors below, or the risk factors in the accompanying prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein or
therein, may occur. If they do, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In such an instance, the
trading prices of our securities, including the Securities, could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to the Notes and the Guarantee
The Notes will be effectively subordinated to all of Aon Corporation's existing and future secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the assets
securing any such indebtedness) and to the existing and future indebtedness of Aon Corporation's subsidiaries, and the Guarantee will be effectively
subordinated to all of Aon plc's existing and future secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the assets securing any such indebtedness) and
to the existing and future indebtedness of Aon plc's subsidiaries.
The Notes are not secured by any of Aon Corporation's assets or the assets of its subsidiaries, and the Guarantee is not secured by any of the
assets of Aon plc or the assets of Aon plc's subsidiaries. As a result, the indebtedness represented by the Notes will effectively be subordinated to any
existing and future secured indebtedness of Aon Corporation or its subsidiaries and the indebtedness represented by the Guarantee will effectively be
subordinated to any existing and future secured indebtedness of Aon plc or its subsidiaries, in each case to the extent of the value of the assets securing any
such indebtedness. As of March 31, 2019, neither Aon Corporation nor Aon plc had any secured indebtedness for borrowed money. As of March 31, 2019,
Aon plc's subsidiaries (other than Aon Corporation) had approximately $4.4 billion of outstanding indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade
payables, pensions and other post-employment liabilities, non-current operating lease liabilities, other current liabilities and non-current liabilities, but
excluding intercompany liabilities and fiduciary liabilities. As of March 31, 2019, Aon Corporation's subsidiaries had approximately $4.2 billion of
outstanding indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, pensions and other post-employment liabilities, non-current operating lease
liabilities, other current liabilities and non-current liabilities, but excluding intercompany liabilities and fiduciary liabilities. In the event of any distribution
or payment of Aon Corporation's assets or those of Aon plc in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, or other bankruptcy
proceeding, any secured creditors of Aon Corporation or of Aon plc, respectively, would have a superior claim to holders of the Notes to the extent of the
value of their collateral. In the event of the dissolution, a winding up, liquidation or reorganization, or other bankruptcy proceeding of a subsidiary of Aon
Corporation, creditors of that subsidiary would generally have the right to be paid in full before any distribution is made to Aon Corporation or you in
respect of the Notes. In the event of a dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, or other bankruptcy proceeding of a subsidiary of Aon plc,
creditors of that subsidiary would generally have the right to be paid in full before any distribution is made to Aon plc or to you in respect of the
Guarantee. If any of the foregoing occur, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the Securities.

We need to maintain adequate liquidity in order to have sufficient cash to meet operating cash flow requirements, repay maturing indebtedness and
satisfy other obligations. If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our various borrowing agreements, our (including Aon Corporation's)
liquidity, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Our liquidity is a function of our ability to successfully generate cash flows from operations and improvement therein, access to capital markets
and borrowings under our credit agreements. We believe our liquidity (including operating and other cash flows that we expect to generate) will be
sufficient to meet operating requirements as they occur; however, our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity going forward depends on our ability to
generate cash from operations and access to the capital markets and borrowings, all of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive,
